CT Science4 Kids

Who we are...

CT Science 4 Kids is a dynamic not-for-profit science education organization dedicated to strengthening, enriching, and enhancing Connecticut’s public school students academic experience and cultural competence through out-of-school informal student-centric STEM learning opportunities. Over the last 16 years, we have developed a successful strategic learning model that is rooted in the belief that educational equity that maximizes individual potential can be achieved in Connecticut through collaborative programs involving participating school districts, businesses, institutions, universities, industries, entrepreneurs, and the not-for-profit community. Our programs are designed to extend the school day/year, enrich the traditional curriculum, and empower students to become responsible, contributing, and engaged citizens in today’s global economy.

We offer a variety of programs...

Through our efforts to obtain funds from the Connecticut State Department of Education and other local funding sources, we are able to offer school year and summer programs for a number of local school districts.

All of these bring together diverse students in sustained, collaborative learning experiences to:

improve academic achievement

experience student centered learning activities

acquire and apply skills in real world problem solving

build cultural competence

Additionally, we offer science programming at your site. ​Our staff will bring NGSS-based student-centered science to your school, after school program, community center, camp, or other site. We are available for one session/class/group, all day programs for grade levels, and, with appropriate planning, more extensive small unit presentations involving a number of days. From small groups to grade level involvement, students become more curious, excited, and highly motivated learners.

People have a lot to say about us...

Our programs have had a positive impact on thousands of Connecticut families. Hear from the students, parents, teachers, and professionals we work with to find out why CT Science 4 Kids makes a difference.
